Sorry Sabbatarians

by an Old Disciple

“Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day?” ~ Lk. 14:5

Jesus never encouraged the breaking of the Sabbath law, but did teach this law was to be interpreted by love. As Paul says, there is no law against love. But, exceptions only prove the rules; they don’t void them.

Those who take advantage of exceptions are forever expecting others to be tolerant, long-suffering, and patient with them. But this continued abuse of privilege wears thin over a long period of time. As a friend of mine used to say, “If I had an ox that fell into a ditch every Sabbath, I’d shoot him!” Any person can play the fool once, but to do it time and again, he really is a fool.

When the exception becomes the rule, you have a problem.
